Hi Philanty
Yes it was to broad a statement to make, "that if we let it deafeat us it will".
I know that my father (who didn't die of cancer) really fought death right to the end when he was given 3 days to live at most, he lasted 5 (I have inherited his stubborn streak LOL) No therapy or treatment was going to sustain beyond that point, his body just gave up and even convential treatment was becoming impossible because the dialysis that was keeping him going was getting more difficult because of the vasculer disease he had, that ment all of his viens were shrinking, making it near on impossible to get a needle into the vein.
He was recieveing Reiki right up to and including his passing and in one of his last lucid moments told the Docter that he had been cured. What was he cured of. His fear of death we like to think, but being stubborn he still held on.
I have recently met a very nice lady, who wasn't expected to go on for much longer in this life. She is fighting the cancer with everything she has, she is not out of the woods yet, but she is enjoying herself as much as she can. She does recieve a lot of reiki and is also taking other alternitive therapies to supplement conventional treatments.
Talk about sheer bloddy mindedness, she just isn't ready to pack it in yet, whereas she could just have said "well thats it".
I also had an Aunt, who so didn't want to give in and did have the right mental attitude but did finally succumb to the cancer.
Like my father when he went, it was her time.
Thank you for your insights. I do know that you have had more expieriance with cancer sufferers than many of us here have so to me (at least) they are valued.
Namaste
